Application filed Ju1y 24, 1911. Serial No. 640,057.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

lle it known that I, l'llDRMANN WI l' isi'nnn a citizen of the UnitedStates of America. residing at Oldahomarity. in the county of (lklahoma and State of Oklahoma, have invented ccartain new and useful lmprovements in Balli l nhs, of which the 'lollowing a specification.

This invention relates to hath tubs and one of the principal objects of the invention is to provide simple and convenient means 'lor cleaning the tab after a hath has been talten in the tub.

Bath tnhs as usually constructed are very liable to collect. the scum and refuse from the top of the water on the inner side 'alls of the tub after each hath and it has heen troublesome and annoying to scrub the tub onlthe inside otter each hath.

The principal object of my invention is to overcome the amioyanee and ditliculty re lei-red to.

Still another object o the invention is 0 provide hath tuh ha ring its .im at the top of the tub curved inwardly and infoviding a contii'inous slot at; the hott in "E1 the rim for discharging the waler into lhc hath tul'n said slot heing wider at the head of the tuh than at the place Where the water enters the rim in order that an equal supply of water may he discl'iarged all around the tub thus equalizing the temperature of the lab at all points to provide a more agrerahlc hath.

These and other ohjr-cls may he attained hy n ans of the ronselinction illustrated in the accompanying; drawing; in whichz-- Figure l is a \m-tieal longitudinal sectionoi a hath tuh mado ill accordance with my invention; and. Fig. 23 is-a horizontal se tional View taken on the line o e of F' 1 looking in the direction indicated by lhl RITOVV S.

comparatively narro al' the foot of the tub as indicated at 'l while the slot gradually widens as it passes toward the head as shown ill, 5. A water supply pipe l; is provided with a suii'ahle ool-z T for hot and cold water and th discharge nozzles 8 and l are disposed hi'irizontally to dira-hargo the water in theehannel Formed in the rim :3 all around the tub. The waste pipe l() is connected to tho waste opening .ll near the loot ol the tub;

From the foregoing, it will he ohvious that a bath tuh mado in accordance with my invention provides simple and com'eniimt means for discharging lllr water into the tub at all points around the upper surface or rim of the tab to give an equalized temperature to the (uh and that aft r-the hath has horn taken and the water has been let out of the hath tnh thrm rh lhc waste pipe 10. a discharge of a small quantily ol water will rinse the ssh al the tail) and carry the waste down ihrongi the pipe lllr thus keeping the hath tuh always clean. By making! the .slhtlzu'ejer toward the head of the luh there is a lilni olj' watrr (ll.-i('lltll' f((l upon the sides ol the llil) or equal thickness and density throughout. The cost of production oi the tub is no greater than those inrommon use.

l Vhat I claim isz- A hath tuh provided with an inwardly curled rim at its upper-edge said rim torming-a Water-way around the top ol the luln said rim curled inniirdly to provide a slot hriwc n the inner odor of lhe rui'lrd porlion and the inner side ol lho lull, said slot open inn; downWardly om the \valerwray and {gradually increasing in width l'rom i nar. rowcst portion at the tool of lhe tub in its widest portion at the head of the tuh'lo equalize the {low of walor down tho sides of the tuh. and a walrr supply cock at the foot of the tub. said (rock ha vin oppositely exlending! nozzles disposed horizontally withinthe rvalcnnniy.

in testimony whereof l alllx my signature in presence o'l two Witnesses.
